It's actually refreshing to see that it's usable again, i can minimize windows and so forth...

so does this mean that Gnome is listening to people or is it just a quirk in the update i got ?

 

see screenshot..

Right now their just both the same ( Clones ) of one desktop and I cannot find any setting or applet that will alow me to extend the desktop (DUal Monitor)

 

Could anyone possibly give me some tips or walk me through this? I hate GNOME, and KDE, I prefer Fluxbox, but this PC has enough resources to run KDE, or GNOME.

here's the problem, when I uninstalled kde, rebooted my machine, and logged in I got the msg asking me if I wanted to make gnome.desktop my default. sooo I says sure, and it loads up the ugly non-functional basic desktop that you get from installing x.

can I just re-yum gnome or is there going to be some accrobatics I'm going to have to go threw in order to get gnome back? [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img]
